EDITORS COMMENTS
This print of Earth showcases the stunning beauty and intricate details of our planet. Taken from a satellite image, it provides a mesmerizing view centred on North America, with the North Pole positioned at the upper centre. The vibrant blue hues depict the vastness of water bodies, while lush green shades represent thriving vegetation. Arid areas are portrayed in earthy brown tones, and snow-covered regions appear pristine white. The topography of both land and ocean floor is intricately displayed, allowing us to appreciate the diverse terrain that characterizes North America. From majestic mountain ranges along the western coast to expansive deserts in the southwest and immense lakes in the northeast – this image captures it all. As we explore beyond North America's borders, we witness its surrounding elements: clockwise from top lie the Arctic Ocean, Greenland, Atlantic Ocean (leading to Asia, Europe, and Africa), South America, and finally merging into Pacific Ocean waters. This remarkable illustration not only highlights geographical features but also showcases various ecosystems across continents. From central plains to marshes in far north regions; swamps in southeast territories; forests dominating northwest landscapes – each shade of green signifies unique habitats found within our planet's diverse tapestry.
